Abstract:

Demography, distance, and die expansion of settlements created problems for the State Department of Education in Western Australia and other Australian states in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Educational administration in Canada and parts of the United States faced similar issues with regard to the provision of schools. A common response was the establishment of one-teacher rural schools, frequently run by young, and sometimes unclassified, female teachers. In the United States locally elected school boards were the primary source of regulation, but in late nineteenth-century Western Australia such local boards had been stripped of their powers and were answerable to the newly established, highly centralized Education Department. Formal regulated teachers. The masculinized system of the Department and its inspectorate. All the same, however, the local community still exerted informal controls over the lives of teachers working and living in small settlements.

Abstract:

Purpose – There has been virtually no explication of poetry-writing pedagogy in historical accounts of Australian distance education during the 1930s. The purpose of this paper is to satisfy this gap in scholarship. Design/methodology/approach – The paper concerns a particular episode in the cultural history of education; an episode upon which print media of the 1930s sheds a distinctive light. The paper therefore draws extensively on 1930s press reports to: contextualise the key educational debates and prime-movers inspiring verse-writing pedagogy in Australian education, particularly distance education, in order to; concentrate specific attention on the creation and popular reception of Brave Young Singers (1938), the first and only anthology of children's poetry written entirely by students of the correspondence classes of Western Australia. Findings – Published under the auspices of the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) with funds originating from the Carnegie Corporation, two men in particular proved crucial to the development and culmination of Brave Young Singers. As the end result of a longitudinal study conducted by James Albert Miles with the particular support of Frank Tate, the publication attracted acclaim as a research document promoting ACER's success in educational research investigating the “experiment” of poetry-writing instruction through correspondence schooling. Originality/value – The paper pays due critical attention to a previously overlooked anthology of Australian children's poetry while simultaneously presenting an original account of the emergence and implementation of verse-writing instruction within the Australian correspondence class curriculum of the 1930s.

Abstract:

In Western Australia there is a relatively small number of students whose behaviour is so severe that they are precluded from participating in regular schools. One alternative education placement for these students has been to enrol them in the Schools of Isolated and Distance Education (SIDE) program. This research reviews the enrolment of excluded students at SIDE as perceived by the personnel who provide this service. A number of key issues emerge that pertain specifically to student learning, communication, attitude and the lack of availability of appropriate alternative programs for these students.

Abstract:

Purpose This study, from Western Sydney University, aims to assess the disposition of students towards climate warming (CW) – a key component of sustainability. CW is a global reality. Any human born after February 1985 has never lived in a world that was not constantly warming, yet little is known about how higher education students perceive their future in a warming world. Design/methodology/approach An online survey, split into three parts, was used to deliver benchmark data on (I) personal information, (II) factual knowledge and (III) sentiments related to CW. Findings Gender and age of students significantly influenced their perception of CW. While self-rated understanding of CW was generally high, factual knowledge about CW was low. Few students recognized that CW was already under way, and that it was mainly caused by human activity. The most prominent emotions were fear, sadness and anger, foretelling widespread disempowerment and fear for the future. Research limitations/implications The study was based on a single dataset and survey response was relatively low. However, respondents mirrored the composition of the student community very well. Originality/value This is the first study revealing large psychological distance to the effects of CW in university students from Australia. Combined with the impression of despondence, the present study suggests that higher education in Australia, and possibly elsewhere, is not providing the prerequisite tools tomorrow’s leaders require for meeting societal, environmental and economic challenges caused by CW. Practical ways to erase these blind spots in sustainability literacy are provided, drawing upon established and novel concepts in higher education.

Abstract:

In 1979, Australia’s then-Communication Minister Tony Staley commented that the introduction of satellite communications to the bush would “dispel the distance – mental as well as geographical – between urban and regional dwellers, between the haves and the have-nots in a communication society” (Staley 1979: 2225, 2228-9). In saying this, Staley imagined a marginalised and disadvantaged audience of “have-nots”, paying for their isolation in terms of their mental distance from the networked communications of the core. This paper uses ethnographic audience studies surveys and interviews (1986-9) to examine the validity of Staley’s imaginations in terms of four communication technologies: the telephone, broadcast radio, 2-way radio and the satellite. The notion of a mental difference is highly problematic for the remote audience. Inso-far as a perception of lack and of difference is accepted, it is taken to reflect the perspective and the product of the urban policy-maker. Far from accepting the “distance” promulgated from the core, remote audiences see such statements as indicating an ignorance of the complexity and sophistication of communications in an environment where the stakes are higher and the options fewer. This is not to say that remote people were not keen to acquire satellite services – they were – it is to say that when they imagined such services it was in terms of equity and interconnections, rather than the “dispelling of distance”.

Full text

Abstract:

Context Translocation as a tool for management of nuisance or ‘problem’ snakes near urban areas is currently used worldwide with limited success. Translocated snakes experience modified behaviours, spatial use and survivorship, and few studies have investigated the impacts of translocation within a metropolitan area. Aims In the present study, we investigated the impacts of translocation on the most commonly encountered snake in Perth Western Australia, the dugite (Pseudonaja affinis, Elapidae), by comparing the space use of resident and translocated snakes. Methods We captured 10 dugites and attached telemetry packages, composed of a radio-telemetry transmitter and global positioning system (GPS) data-logger, externally to their tails. Snakes were either released within 200 m of their initial capture sites (residents, n = 6) or moved to new unconnected habitat at least 3 km away (translocated, n = 4). Spatial-use data were analysed using general linear models to identify differences between resident and translocated dugites. Key results Translocation influenced space use of dugites and detrimentally affected their survivorship. Translocated snakes had larger activity ranges than did residents, and there was a trend towards travelling greater distances over time. Mortality for all snakes was high: 100% for translocated snakes, and 50% for residents. Conclusions Urban dugites face many threats, and snakes were negatively affected by translocation. The GPS technology we used did not improve the quality of the data over traditional radio-telemetry methods, owing to the cryptic nature of the snakes that spent much of their time under cover or underground. Implications These findings support the growing body of evidence that translocating ‘problem’ snakes is a not a humane method of animal management, and alternatives such as public education, may be more appropriate.

Abstract:

The Western Governors University (WGU) and the California Virtual University (CVU) are revealing examples of the complex issues involved in implementing distance learning on the public policy level. Although technology is certainly important, it has masked the fact that the WGU and CVU initiatives mark the rise of learner-centered higher education and the increased role of business in the academy. In comparing and contrasting WGU and CVU, it is clear that the WGU is a more radical proposition because of competency-based credit and the connection with private industry. Two important issues driving public policy are raised in these two efforts: First, are the California and Western Governors Association initiatives the product of the commercialization of education or the result of a reform of higher education that may lead to an increased learner-centered orientation? Second, what is the appropriate role of private industry in higher education?

Full text

Abstract:

The genetic structure of the pearl oyster Pinctada maxima in northern Australia was investigated by starch-gel electrophoresis. Six polymorphic enzymes were examined in 220 individuals from five areas which span a distance of 3400 km. Across this range, the average FST is 0.104, with three of the loci showing highly significant variation in allelic frequencies. Most of the geographic variation is clinal between western and eastern populations. Particularly striking is the near substitution of alternate alleles for GOT between Western Australia and north-eastern Queensland. Comparisons between adjacent pairs of samples usually revealed significant genetic differences, including differences between two areas in the Northern Territory separated by 320 km. In contrast, two samples from Western Australia showed little evidence of genetic subdivision over a distance of more than 800 km. These genetic comparisons indicate that stocks of P. maxima are highly subdivided in northern Australia, but they also favour the view that there are substantial connections of Western Australian populations over large distances.

Full text

Abstract:

A study is made of a coastal tidal jet, based on a field program together with numerical and analytical modelling of the tidal discharge and jet dynamics. A new criterion is demonstrated for bottom attachment of low-aspect-ratio buoyant jets. The slightly buoyant jet is attached to the seabed over the initial 2 km of its trajectory, which lies in shallow coastal waters of less than 10 m depth. The jet is about 200 m in width and so its ratio of depth to half-width (aspect ratio) is much lower than for previously reported bottom-attached jets. The longitudinal retardation of the axial speed of the jet is due to bottom friction and entrainment. The jet widens only slowly with distance along its trajectory because entrainment is limited to its sides and is compensated by bathymetric deepening. The jet attaches to the coastline by turning, without loss of speed, to move parallel to the shore. The coastal attachment width is found to be a simple function of the ratio of the jet discharge velocity to the speed of the prevailing alongshore current.

Abstract:

This paper addresses issues of ‘distance’ between remote and metropolitan audiences, and the use of communications technologies as tools to dispel such distance. Using the satellite-delivered RCTS broadcasting as a case study — given that this was part of the thrust to ‘dispel’ this distance — the research reported here interrogates notions of difference and inclusion as perceived, experienced and expressed by people resident in remote and regional Western Australia. The argument advanced is that new communications technologies do not dispel distance; rather, they act as catalysts through which distance is re-experienced and redefined. These distinctions are of continuing and growing importance in a climate within which Networking the Nation and digital TV again promise more equalisation of differences and services, and more dispelling of distance.

Abstract:

This paper traces the establishment of Western Australia's three community colleges. Features of this development are significant government initiatives, historical accidents, and policy issues concerning the coordination, control, and future directions of new post-secondary institutions. All this is examined against a background of debates about the control and management of the state's system of technical and further education. The policy issues that are raised are similar to issues discussed in most Australian states, and invite speculation about the future shape of technical and further education in Western Australia that is highly relevant to what is happening in other parts of the nation.

Abstract:

A reliable estimate of population size is of paramount importance for making management decisions on species of conservation significance that may be impacted during development. The western ringtail possum (Pseudocheirus occidentalis) is regularly encountered during urban development and is the subject of numerous surveys to estimate its abundance. A variety of techniques have been used for this species with mixed results. This paper reports on a case study using distance sampling to estimate density of P. occidentalis in a small habitat remnant near Busselton, Western Australia. Density estimates obtained were within the range of previous studies of this species and we suggest that this technique should be employed in future surveys to improve the accuracy of population estimates for this species before development.

Full text

Abstract:

We report on the genetic structuring of populations of a large burrowing frog, Heleioporus albopunctatus, from the central wheatbelt of Western Australia. This region has been highly fragmented by vegetation clearance for agriculture since the early 1900s. Genetic variation at four variable loci in 22 populations was analysed using cellulose acetate electrophoresis. Analysis across all populations showed a moderate, but significant, degree of subdivision (Fst = 0.087 ± 0.049, P < 0.05) and high levels of heterozygosity (H = 0.133, s.e. = 0.084). Several small populations had higher Fst values in pair-wise comparisons. A mantel test revealed no significant relationship between genetic distance and geographic distance (r = –0.136, P = 0.34) and this, combined with data from multidimensional scaling analyses, suggests that geographic isolation of populations is not a significant determinant of genetic structuring. Despite this, the presence of high levels of subdivision as a result of the erosion of genetic diversity indicates that regional persistence may be dependent on the maintenance of metapopulation structures that allow gene flow.

Full text

Abstract:

Population structure, reproduction, condition, movements and habitat preference were assessed for western barred bandicoots (Perameles bougainville) on Dorre and Bernier Islands over seven trapping sessions between 1988 and 1995. Data comes from 372 captures of bandicoots in 2535 trap-nights (an average of 14·7 captures per 100 trap-nights). Trap success was 5.7–25.8% on Dorre and 5.7–7.6% on Bernier. Recaptures within a trip made up 29% of bandicoot captures. The overall sex ratio (excluding recaptures) was skewed heavily towards males at 1.7: 1 for trapped animals, but varied between male and female dominance at any time according to reproductive status of females. Sex ratio of pouch young was 1.2: 1. Production of young was concentrated in the wetter winter months. The smallest western barred bandicoot with pouch young weighed 175 g. Bandicoots showed a pattern of increasing litter size with size of mother. Females with young had an average litter size of 1.8, with young reaching independence at about 100 g body weight. Large testes size relative to body size in males suggested a promiscuous mating system. Body condition could be predicted by sex (females were typically in better condition than males) and by rainfall over the previous 2 months. Some sexual dimorphism was evident, with females having longer heads and typically being heavier than males. There was no detected dimorphism between island populations. Movements of bandicoots appeared limited, with the median distance moved by animals captured more than once within a 9–11-day trapping session being 154 m. There was no significant difference in movements between the sexes, with males moving a median distance of 160 m and females 138 m within trapping sessions. The greatest movement by a male was 1020 m while the greatest distance moved by a female was 490 m. Only 13% of recorded movements were greater than 400 m. Home ranges overlapped, with 51% of traps catching more than one individual and as many as five males being caught at the same trap site. Bandicoots were widely dispersed through all habitats surveyed. Bandicoots appeared to suffer a substantial reduction in numbers on Dorre Island in a prolonged drought extending from October 1986 to April 1989, reducing overall trap success to less than 6% in the 1988 survey.

Abstract:

This paper presents a discussion of legislative frameworks that mandate schools to define their own educational processes and systems. The political and constitutional implications are discussed for Australia compared with the existing structures in the United Kingdom and the United States. As decentralisation varies considerably in Australia between states and territories, the State of Western Australia is selected as an example. Specifically an analysis of the approach adopted by Western Australia is evaluated for the need for effecting equality of regular and special education. It is argued that new education laws are essential to promote equity in restructured systems.

Abstract:

Firstly let me introduce myself to you. My name is Irene Calgaret. I am an Aboriginal of the Nyungar people from Bunbury, Western Australia. I attend Edith Cowan University, Bunbury as a first-year student, studying English as my major.I am the mother of three lovely daughters and the grand-mother of four wonderful grand-sons. I have been a nurse for 25 years, employed at local Government and private hospitals, and at various other small, country town hospitals in our very large state of Western Australia.

Abstract:

Starch-gel electrophoresis was used to investigate population structure of the commercially and recreationally exploited abalone, Haliotis roei. The standardized variance in allelic frequencies among 10 sites in south-western Australia indicated relatively high levels of gene flow across the 3000 km range sampled (mean FST 0.009). Sites showed no striking geographic trends in allelic frequencies or apparent clustering, on the basis of multidimensional scaling of GST as a measure of genetic dissimilarity. A population structure of isolation-by-distance was evident when pairwise measures of GST were related to geographic distance (r = 0.45, P <0.001). This relationship was evident beneath relatively high levels of variability among pairwise comparisons of GST for sites separated by small distances. The area of complete genetic mixing, or neighbourhood size, was estimated to be less than the distance between the two nearest sites, or 13 km. The apparent contradiction between relatively high levels of gene flow across the species’ distribution, as indicated by a low average FST, and substantial heterogeneity between sites separated by 10s of kilometres, is discussed in the context of the species’ biology, and management of the fishery.

Abstract:

The vastness of Western Australia presents special problems for the provision of equal education to blind and visually impaired children who are mainstreamed in schools throughout the state, especially those who are in underpopulated areas. This article describes the history of education of blind and visually impaired people in the state, culminating in the granting of integrated education in the 1970s and the subsequent effects of mainstreaming. It also discusses the special problems of itinerant teachers, who often travel hundreds of miles, by car, and airplane, to see one student.

Abstract:

Most staff at universities in Australia could cite a number of high schools within their catchments with identified low rates of tertiary entry. In turn, teaching staff at those high schools have a reasonable idea and view of the percentage of students from their final year who will go on to higher education. What may develop from this identification is “opportunity blindness”, with many students not considering tertiary study as an option for post-school education. This paper is the report of a project initiative by Murdoch University and Hamilton Senior High School in Western Australia that hopes to have as its long-term outcome the increased enrolment of Year 12 students into tertiary education.
